Nearly four weeks ago, the fabric of my family was forever changed. My oldest brother, Joel, crashed and died in a plane crash, and left his wife and twin toddlers behind. The shock drove my family together in deep prayer and intimacy with the Father, as we struggled through the pain of never seeing our dear brother again in this lifetime. I still cannot understand why Yahweh would allow my young sister-in-law, Julia Ann, to be widowed with her two little boys, but I trust in His enduring goodness. They were so happy together!

Although Joel worked hard to provide for his family, he did not have life insurance. My sister-in-law now faces the task of entering the work field to provide for her family. She has experience in waitressing, but any job is hard to do with children to care for.

You can help: A fund has been created for Yahweh’s people to come together according to His instruction to care for the widow and the orphan. Anyone can donate to my sister-in-law, Julia Ann, and help her during these crucial first few years of recuperation and healing. My family and I are committed to her welfare, but we are aware that the entire Body of Yeshua hurts when the leg or the arm is hit unexpectedly.

Will you please consider this request? I know that I have only recently joined your fellowship, but I feel that I am among true believers when we are gathered.
